Thyristors – SCRs
Thyristors are solid-state semiconductor devices with three or four terminals, consisting of four layers of alternating N and P-type material. They are widely used for switching and controlling applications, providing improved performance and reliability over conventional mechanical switches and utilities. SCRs or silicon-controlled rectifiers are among the most widely used type of thyristors. The MCR12LMG is an SCR made by SEMIKRON, used in logic-level applications. In this article, we will discuss its applications and working principle.

The MCR12LMG is a compact, thyristor chip with robust junction technology and high surge capability. Its features include low V_GT threshold, high dV/dt, low holding current, and high dielectric strength. Applications of the MCR12LMG SCR include motor control, DC-DC converters, snubber circuits, phase angle control, H-bridges, and AC phase control. The device can be employed in power electronic systems, automotive, electronic controls, and solar energy systems applications.

The MCR12LMG SCR consists of two power electrodes – anode and cathode – and one controlling electrode, called the gate. It has four layers of semiconductor material, with each layer containing a different type of material. The top and bottom layers contain P-type substrate material, and the two middle layers are N-type. The power electrodes are connected to two of the semiconductor layers, while the gate is connected to the third layer.

The working principle of the device is based on the flow of current between the anode and cathode layers when the gate is activated. When a voltage is applied to the gate, it initiates a flow of electrons along the N-type layers, passing through the P-substrates. This electron flow causes a current to flow as well, thus bypassing the external control circuit and passing straight through the device. As long as the gate voltage is applied, the device will remain in the on state, and the current will continue to flow. When the gate voltage is removed, it interrupts the flow of electrons, and the device switches off.

The MCR12LMG SCR is an efficient device, capable of providing high surge protection and logic-level control with fast turn-on and on-state behavior. It is designed to provide a high level of reliability and is suitable for a variety of applications. Its features include a low V_GT threshold, high dV/dt, low holding current, and high dielectric strength. In addition, its robust construction and superior thermal characteristics provide superior performance and reliability compared to other thyristors.

In summary, the MCR12LMG SCR is a reliable component, suitable for a variety of applications. It has an efficient design, capable of providing high surge protection and logic-level control with fast-turn-on and on-state behavior. Its features include low V_GT threshold, high dV/dt, low holding current, and high dielectric strength, making it ideal for power electronic systems, automotive, electronic controls, and solar energy systems.
